Say goodbye to the hard drive

[Special. K]

Experts say it may not be long before flash memory stored on the motherboard replaces your spinning drive (http://www.computerworld.com/action/article.do?command=viewArticleBasic&taxonomyName=Storage&articleId=9126238&taxonomyId=19&pageNumber=1)

It's gonna be a lot easier to convict pedophiles. No more hammer'n'sweat camoflage.

Flash memory FTW

That's what externals are for. :D

At the moment, some major drawbacks to flash drives is that they're more likely to become corrupt than a military man given absolute power of a third world country, and the transfer speeds ae't particularly high. Much more resistant to damage and movement though, and can be TINY - although IIRC there are actual hard drives the size of finger nails already in existence.

I've no doubt flash memory will be the future though, especially in that it's cheaper to manufacture and you can throw it around like a Nintendo cartridge.

I wish they would just skip ahead already and just start storing information in giant cubes of water. If the feds busted down my door, I could just drink the evidence. Refreshing.

Rocks are the next solid state storage, and then after that it's crystal skulls.

What are you talking about, its easier to erase data on flash mem then on hard drives. On hard drives you need to overwrite the data 7-35 times before its unrecoverable, on a flash module I think a couple of times would do it.

you cannot be using indiana jones to predict the future.

[NamelessNom4d]

It's like in metalocalypse where they use water to store all the tracks for their songs.... lol.

I can't seem to find a youtube clip for that...

I haven't even seen that movie. It's from a legitimate (although outrageously farfetched) scientific theory that has been around for a long time. Allegedly the crystal skulls may contain all the data from a far more technologically advanced ancient race. Rocks are a newer theory on where solid state memory may go, and somehow computers in thefuture may end up being rocks. I can't remember the details, but it's worth looking up.

Still too expensive for that right now, but Microsoft should make a slimline Xbox replacing the hard drive with flash memory.

[akiratheoni]

Yeah, SSDs are rapidly gaining popularity. They were hella expensive at first but prices are going down faster than a Guatemalan hooker*

Time to make a few of these...;)

Experts?
Oh wait, the're the poeple who write for computer world...

Solid state is going to take some time, and why bother? HDD's are cheap as fuck and still in full production.

You do know flash memory is easier to destory then metal spinning platters?

:sigh: They may be more durable to drops and such, but they still relay on magnetically written data.

It takes less time to format and delete a flash memory media then hard drive, and fill up~ this alone will make it tons easier to eradicate evidence on a via to go platform.

Hell, they've got a nasty habit of doing it themselves every once in a while.

Prosecution would like to submit electric_wizards urine sample as evidence of the court, :rolleyes:

[pengd0t]

I misunderstood the thread title.

I expected news that there were now robots who would drive my car for the long, uninteresting stretches I'm not too fond of.

THAT would be news.
But this...
Of course solid state drives are the future, I thought that was pretty well established.

[Revvy]

Solid state society?
